The money will be used mostly for hiring and technical needs, as well as to support Healint’s overseas expansion.

“Also, many of our angel investors came back to support us in this round, which shows their confidence in our vision to tackle chronic healthcare using data science,” she added.

The funding news comes at the same time as the announcement of a new partnership with leading UK-based organisation Migraine Action.

Healint is the startup behind Migraine Buddy, the number one migraine tracking app on Google Play. Previously, between 2013-14 it had raised roughly S$400,000 (US$300,000) in angel funding.

Earlier this month, Healint revealed to e27 that it has developed algorithms to monitor sleep and gait (the way someone walks) through mobile apps, and is working with several major Singapore-based health institutions.

As we also previously reported, the startup is now eyeing expansion into Japan as a primary market outside Singapore due to the country’s advanced tech consumers and high mobile penetration.
